Aw11 heater and radiator hose woes! (vic)

Hi all, I had the under car cooling pipes crap out due to rust and have now discovered the cancer has spread to other components in my cooling system. I'm chasing the heater hoses and rad hoses to complete the restoration of my cooling system but my mate who is doing the work recons Toyota and Bursons have turned him away on supplying the hoses.  It seems if you need hoses for an sw20, they are there in abundance. It's very frustrating for me and my mechanic. Does any one have an idea that would lead to me getting hold of new or if not good used ones?  Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello,          I have a set(or two) of radiator and heater hoses and the metal pipework that goes underneath car.Also radiators as well.Also have the metal ones from engine bay(the ones with oil cooler lines).
           All hoses were from crashed/damaged AW11's but they were drivable until I wrecked them out.
           Hoses etc are not new but all appear to be in working condition,which is why I have kept them for spares.
           Send me a PM if your interested.Parts are near Brisbane Qld but can send by post/courier.
                         Thank you....skip.

I replace every hose that exists on my AW11 - all available at my local toyota dealer .. a bit expensive but all perfect fit and OEM..

Hi Keith,
 
I've got all the cooling hoses but no dice on the heater hoses.  I tried Lithia and Cleveland.  Where did you get yours or did you get the last ones on the planet?

Have you tried these guys? http://www.amayama.com/
I've used them multiple times now with great success.

I tried amayama and they confirmed that the heater hoses are no longer available.  No response from Road and Track but I would expect the same reply.  Repco don't have anything and could only suggest pulling all the hoses out and trying to match them up in the shop.  The other alternative is Gates publish a list of theri parts which can be used to replace the hoses so I might try that next.
 
Ah the joys of old cars!
